Question

Imagine you want to create a model of Solar system (and beyond) with the Sun

Answer 1

Using the scale model of the Sun given;

• The diameter of the Milky Way = 4.28 × 10¹¹ m
• The diameter of the Earth = 5.44 × 10⁻³ m

What is the diameter of the Milky Way?

The diameter of the Milky Way is about 1 × 10¹⁸ km.

The diameter of the Sun is about 1.4 × 10⁶ km

The diameter of the Earth is about 1.27 × 10⁴ km.

Using the scale model of the Sun given, the diameter of the Milky Way = (1 × 10¹⁸ km/1.4 × 10⁶ km) × 0.6 m

The diameter of the Milky Way = 4.28 × 10¹¹ m

Using the scale model of the Sun given, the diameter of the Milky Way = (1.27 × 10⁴ km/1.4 × 10⁶ km) × 0.6 m

The diameter of the Earth = 5.44 × 10⁻³ m

In conclusion, the diameter of the Milky Way is far bigger than the Sun while the diameter of the Sun is about 5400 times bigger than the Earth.
